evening. the u.s. is now expelling at least 21 saudis who had come to this country for training. some of them flight training. but tonight, federal authorities say their extremist views were discovered in the wake of that deadly attack at the u.s. naval air station in pensacola. we reported here on the saudi student armed with a handgun going on a rampage just weeks ago at that base. and tonight, the attorney general calling it an act of terrorism, quote, motivated by jihadist ideology. three young sailors were killed. and eight others were injured before the gunman was taken down. tonight, what was now discovered and why those 21 saudis are being forced out of the u.s. abc's chief justice correspondent pierre thomas leading us off. >> reporter: five weeks after that horrific mass shooting at the pensacola naval station, 21 saudi nationals are being sent back saudi arabia. this after authorities say they made a chilling discovery. at least 17 military trainees were found with jihadi literature and 15 with child

porn on their computers. >> i do think it's clear that we have to improve our vetting procedures. >> reporter: a sensitive issue for the u.s., considering 15 of the 19 hijackers in the 9/11 attack were saudis. that saudi pilot who gunned down three sailors and wounded eight others was a radical who the fbi says was secretly planning to kill his american colleagues for months. just two hours before the shooting, lieutenant mohammed saedal sham ran saed alshamrani was reading and posting messages on social media. >> he harbored anti-u.s. military and anti-israel sentiments, and he thought violence was necessary to defend muslim countries. >> reporter: new evidence revealed today suggests alshamrani was planning a large-scale massacre. he had more than 180 rounds of ammunition for his handgun, which had an extended magazine. so far, the fbi has no evidence the gunman killed at the scene had others helping him, but agents are scrambling to access his two badly damaged iphones. authorities say apple so far has

been unwilling to help. it's the same problem investigators faced after the san bernardino terror attack in 2015. >> we call on apple and other technology companies to help us find a solution. >> we have heard that question before, and pierre thomas with us live again tonight from the justice department. and pierre, authorities do believe that these phones could be key to finding out whether the gunman had any accomplices? >> reporter: that's right, david. the fbi says they found no evidence of support, but it's clear they're extremely frustrated that they don't know what is on those two phones. and david, the fbi says the suspect intentionally shot one of those phones before he was killed. but right now, they have no evidence that any of those trainees knew about the plot beforehand. david? >> all right, pierre thomas leading us off tonight. pierre, thank you. there are new images coming in tonight, another tornado, this time, slamming into a high school. cars on top of one another. and ef-1 flipping these cars in south carolina. 90-mile-an-hour winds. the numbers tonight are

staggering. more than 20 confirmed deadly tornadoes now. this devastation in haughton, louisiana. and tonight, a series of new storms now moving, one right across the country. snow and ice eventually right here in the east. we time it all out, abc's marcus moore in the storm zone tonight. >> reporter: tonight, a powerful storm striking the carolinas. a confirmed ef-1 tornado with winds of 90 miles per hour touching down this afternoon in this high school parking lot east of florence, south carolina. >> we were in class and we went under lockdown and nobody really knew what was happening. >> reporter: cars tossed on top of each other, windshields shattered. there was no tornado warning. thankfully, no one was hurt. and in north carolina, part of the roof of an elementary school gym blown off east of fayetteville. >> what a blessing it is that only three students were injured and those three students are going to be okay. >> reporter: this after that multiday severe weather outbreak claimed at least 12 lives. east of shreveport, louisiana,

an ef-2 tornado with winds of up to 135 miles per hour destroying the home of jerry and mary sue franks. they did not survive. and in lubbock, texas, icy roads claiming the lives of two first responders. police officer nicholas reyna and fire lieutenant-paramedic eric hill were on the scene of an accident when they were hit by a vehicle. a third first responder was critically hurt. david, another look at the devastating scene here in louisiana, where that ef-2 tornado brought 135-mile-per-hour winds. it lifted a mobile home into the air and sent it tumbling across the land here. a married couple that lived in this house did not survive. and today, their adult children were sifting through this debris, looking for pictures of their parents they'll now cherish dearly. david? >> just a horrific weekend. we're thinking about those families and it continued right into today. marcus, thank you. let's get right to chief meteorologist ginger zee, because we mentioned two other storm systems also on the move, and ginger is tracking it all for us tonight. hey, ginger. >> reporter: hey, david. two to six inches of snow shut down some schools and delayed

universities around seattle. that was kind of their suburbs that ended up having the first part of this. but these storms are going to bring winter weather all the way down into the sierra of california. so, let's go through the timing. this first one is pretty much through, and it's much weaker than the next one that's coming in. so, i want you to focus on the wednesday night into thursday time period. that is the storm that not only could impact everybody from portland, oregon, who now has a winter weather advisory, down to santa barbara and los angeles. even some snow in the mountains there. and that is the storm that could bring snow and ice to parts of the northeast by the weekend. david? >> by the weekend. some tough weather, but i still wanted to wish you a happy birthday, ginger. >> thank you so much. we move onto other news this monday night, and we have new reporting here after a deadly rampage right outside new york city. police now say it could have been much worse, in fact. you'll remember the surveillance showing the attackers getting out of their van, walking toward the kosher grocery store in jersey city, where they would open fire. tonight, what was discovered in that van, a massive bomb that could have sent shrapnel five football fields away. here's abc's erielle reshef. >> reporter: tonight, the fbi

revealing the suspects behind the rampage inside a jersey city kosher supermarket may have been plotting an even deadlier attack. >> we know now that they planned greater acts of mayhem. >> reporter: authorities say inside their van was a bomb powerful enough to scatter shrapnel across five football fields, along with materials for another device. david anderson and francine graham killed three innocent people in that market and terrorized the neighborhood for hours. the fbi believes when a detective spotted the couple in a nearby cemetery right before the attack, it likely "threw off a broader plan" and "probably saved dozens of lives." the detective was also shot and killed by the couple. >> this was, in fact, a hate crime and an episode of domestic terrorism. >> reporter: the fbi saying the suspects were motivated by bias against the jewish community and law enforcement.

david, the fbi says the suspects researched a nearby jewish community center as a possible target. authorities say given the arsenal they had, david, that could have been catastrophic. >> all right, erielle reshef tonight. thank you. overseas now, and to the protests on the streets of iran, after that country admitted it accidentally shot down that passenger plane. protesters turned their anger away from the u.s., back to their own government. many now avoiding stepping on the american flag painted on the street for that purpose. the protesters turning on their government and back here at home tonight, new questions about all of this for president trump. the initial strikedown, that drone strike. here's chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz now. >> reporter: tonight, iran in turmoil, after thousands flooded the streets, outraged over their government's admission of the shootdown of a passenger jet. security forces cracking down, using tear gas and reportedly live ammunition against demonstrators. some chanting for the removal of iran's supreme leader. for three days, the iranian

government claimed the ukrainian jet crashed because of mechanical trouble, finally admitting they had mistakenly shot it down, killing the 176 civilians, only as video and witness evidence mounted. the commercial jet struck just hours after iran attacked two american-backed military bases in iraq. today, u.s. military crews sifted through the wreckage at al asad airbase. the attacks, retaliation for the killing of iran's top military general, qassem soleimani. the country initially united against america's targeted killing, demanding revenge. but tonight, a complete reversal. these crowds avoid trampling on images of the u.s. and israeli flags painted on the street. president trump calling that "big progress." but on the targeted killing of soleimani, president trump's secretary of defense appearing to contradict the president that four embassies were under

threat. >> did they have large-scale attacks planned for other embassies, and if those were planned, why can't we reveal that to the american people? wouldn't that help your case? >> well, i can reveal that i believe it would have been four embassies. >> i didn't see one, with regard to four embassies. what i'm saying is, i share the president's view that probably -- my expectation was they were going to go after our embassies. >> reporter: tonight, the president pressed on the inconsistencies. >> well, first of all, i think it's been totally consistent. but here's what's been consistent. we killed soleimani, the number one terrorist in the world, by every account. >> and martha raddatz live in washington tonight. she's just back from iran. and martha, your sources are telling you the u.s. intelligence community had actually been watching qassem soleimani since last spring? >> reporter: exactly, david. and that coincided with an increased campaign of violence that soleimani was planning against the u.s. to try to counter the so-called maximum pressure campaign on iran. so, they were tracking his

movements in the event he became a target of opportunity, but killing him was ultimately a decision made by the president, of course. david? >> martha, thank you. we're going to turn now to impeachment. a key meeting tomorrow in the house, as speaker pelosi plans to send the articles of impeachment over to the senate, setting the stage for the trial of president trump. let's get to mary bruce, live on the hill tonight. and mary, house speaker nancy pelosi holding that meeting tomorrow. what is expected? >> reporter: well, david, thunderstorm morning, the house speaker will be huddling behind closed doors with all house democrats, discussing which members could be prosecuting the case in the senate. and deciding when to finally send over the articles of impeachment, which, tonight, we are told, could happen as soon as tomorrow. >> and mary, president trump is now suggesting the republican-controlled senate should dismiss the case against him when they get the articles. speaker pelosi with a strong reaction to that? >> reporter: david, the speaker says that dismissing this case would be a coverup, and even top republicans tell us they don't want a dismissal here. the republican leader is making very clear, they want a trial. david? >> mary bruce with us on a

monday night. mary, thank you. and now to the race for 2020, with the iowa caucuses just three weeks from today, hard to believe, democrat cory booker announcing he is bowing out, suspending his campaign. the new jersey senator ran on a message of peace and unity but he failed to qualify for two debates in a row. former massachusetts governor deval patrick is now the only african-american competing on the democratic side. next, queen elizabeth's historic announcement tonight, agreeing to support harry and meghan in their request to become part-time royals. the queen's new message, after a high stakes summit, acknowledging their wish to quote create a new life as a young family. but tonight, everyone looking at the clues in the queen's words, and here's james longman from london. >> reporter: prince charles, prince william and the prince at the center of a royal crisis, today emerging from talks aimed at finding a way for the duke and duchess of sussex to step back from royal life. tonight, the queen is voicing her support, but admitting it was not what she wanted. "although we would have preferred them to remain

full-time working members of the royal family," she said, "we respect and understand their wish to live a more independent life as a family while remaining a valued part of my family." a tone less like the sovereign, more like a grandmother, using the word "family" eight times and naming them like the rest of us. "harry and meghan have made clear that they do not want to be reliant on public funds in their new lives. it has therefore been agreed that there will be a period of transition in which the sussexes will spend time in canada and the uk." >> she's absolutely a pragmatist. she would not be looking at going in there pointing fingers. the queen would not look back. she'll be looking forward. >> reporter: just ahead of today's meeting, a glimpse of unity. prince william and harry pushing back against rumors harry was bullied out of the royal family. "for brothers who care so deeply about the issues surrounding mental health, the use of inflammatory language in this way is offensive and potentially harmful." and david, there is still so much to work out. will the couple keep their royal titles? where are they going to live?

and crucially, how are they going to pay their way? the queen has said she wants this sorted in days and not weeks. david? >> james longman again tonight. james, thank you. and next tonight, the dangerous volcano erupting in the philippines. look at this tonight. the taal volcano roaring back to life, spewing ash and steam, lava high into the sky. volcanic lightning illuminating in the night. the effects felt 40 miles away in manila where the airport was temporary closed. homes caked in ash tonight. tens of thousands already forced to evacuate. there is still much more ahead on "world news tonight" this monday. the american family swept out to sea, right off the coast of the u.s. the father and his two children pulled into the water. we do have news tonight in this desperate search. also ahead, the major league cheating scandal. the houston astros, the general manager and the manager both fired. how officials say they pulled this off before they got caught. and we have alarming news e tonight about the world's oceans. and this fact. how much heat scientists say the oceans are absorbing every oceans are absorbing every second.
